German authorities considered Navalny's poisoning "quite probable"

The German authorities called it “quite probable” that Alexei Navalny was poisoned. This was stated by the official representative of the federal government of Germany, Steffen Seibert.

Almost simultaneously, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, who was in Kiev, urged to wait for additional facts in order to speak with confidence about the fact of poisoning. “Many facts are missing in the Navalny case: medical, and probably also criminological,” he said.

• Today, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the Navalny case did not give "any reason for international negotiations," and stressed that Vladimir Putin did not participate in any way in the issue of transporting the politician from Omsk to Berlin.

• The German TV channel ZDF, citing the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs , reported that Alexei Navalny was officially brought to Germany in the status of "guest of the chancellor." Round the clock security is posted around the hospital.

• The first press conference on the condition of the Russian opposition leader after being transported to Germany is expected on Monday. Unofficially , it became known that Navalny would probably survive, but would not be able to act as a politician for several months.
